Subject: Rose Cup Tournament, Portland, OR - Single Elim Bracket/Scores - Sunday -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rose Cup Tournament - Delta Park, Portland, Oregon Single Elimination Sunday, June 25, 2006 Thanks to Tom Ree for providing these scores and information Temperatures in the high 90's (F) Click here for Sunday's results, including link to bracket: http://fastpitchwest.com/morningbrief/?p=993 or link in from the main page at: http://www.fastpitchwest.com The bracket is up to date as of this posting at 1pm PST. Only three teams remain. Just three teams left. Host Portland is back in the finals for the second year in a row, with two So Cal giants, Team Rainey and the So Cal Bombers squaring off in a semi-final matchup that will determine Portland's opponent. In the most dramatic game of the day, Portland and Vancouver squared off in a quarterfinal game, a rematch of last year's championship game, which Vancouver won. This year, it was Portland's turn, with Mike Piechnik picking up a 5-4 win in 8 innings over hard throwing Nick Underhill. Portland led 4-1 before Vancouver tied it and sent it into extra innings. The Larry Miller Hogs of Salt Lake City, Utah gave the So Cal Bombers a run for their money, before falling 5-2. The Bombers led midway, 2-1, but the Hogs tied the game at 2 in the 4th. Ryan Brand came on in relief to pick up the win for the Bombers. The Bombers will face local So Cal rival Team Rainey, who always seems to play their best at Portland. Rainey was in the finals in 2003 and 2004. Young Argentine Sebastian Gervasutti has three wins while Bricklen Anderson has two, for their 5-0 record thus far. Team Rainey is ranked # 24 in the current ISC rankings, while the Bombers are #8. Rainey opened the Rose Cup tournament yesterday morning with a 4-1 win over #6 ranked the Vancouver Grey Sox. Prince George Black Bears, BC won their morning game, but departed early, forfeiting their semi-final with Portland.
